JNOV is now RJMOL

[@ryanR3B3L]

The reason for a 50(b) motion is because the judge is not going to overturn the jury's decision. By having a 50(a) motion be made, the judge isn't overturning the jury's decision, but is instead reviewing their denial of the 50(a) motion to protect rights under the 7th amendment. It's a legal fiction that allows the court to side-step constitutional limitations.
